I use multiple workflows successfully and run them on schedules. They work 90%+ of the time, but not 100%. The failure happens in the first job of the workflow when it does not set the data needed for the second job to run. I will give a single example: Here is the task: - name: Pass data forward to Work Flow set\_stats: data: infra\_ips\_list: “{{ node\_ips\_json }}” Here is the log output: TASK [Pass data forward to Work Flow] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*12:21:36 1619 **task path: /runner/project/Ansible/playbooks/CronTasks/get-infranode-ips.yml:24** ok: [10.xx.xx.xx] =\> { 1621 “ansible\_stats”: { 1622 “aggregate”: true, 1623 “data”: { 1624 “infra\_ips\_list”: [ 1625 “10.xx.xx.1”, 1626 “10.xx.xx.2”, 1627 “10.xx.xx.3” 1628 ] 1629 }, 1630 “per\_host”: false 1631 }, 1632 “changed”: false 1633 } Here are the artifacts: {} The data are absolutely there, according to the log, and the task is green for success, but the stats artifacts are not set. Again, this works as expected 90%+ of the time. What more can I do to debug this? Thank you, Kevin ---

Does everyone else have 100% success with set\_stats? Is this a known issue? Does no one else use set\_stats? Thank you, Kevin ---

I have had the interface not update the screen properly on occasion. Does refreshing the browser or starting a new browser session fix this? The set\_stats is something I use in every one of my workflows and never had it fail. Mike ---

Thank you. No, the data elements from the first workflow task are well and truly unavailable to the next task. It’s not a UI glitch. The data are logged accurately and the set\_stats task is successful, but the next workflow step never receives a thing. ---

Hi! Can you please let us know the version of AWX you are using? Seth ---

I have a suspicion that this is hitting [https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/11821](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/11821), which was fixed at some point, although I didn’t know exactly how. In the devel branch artifacts are probably getting saved robustly. ---

AWX 20.0.1 The 11821 bug surely does sound on target. The problem is I’m seeing about a 95% success rate. The bug report says the bug was not reproduced and in a single run the failure did not occur. I do see it was reprod and verified in the linked thread downstream, so maybe I should have confidence. Is 20.0.1 outside that patch stream? Thank you! Kevin ---

So, is v20.0.1 impacted? Is there a version we know works? ---

The reference PR has been released in 21.1.0, so we’d recommend upgrading to that. Let us know if that works! AWX Team ---

Good to hear. Thank you! I don’t know what our release cadence is, but I’ll swing back when it happens.
